Reviews for Prose Poetry: An Introduction

The rich variety of work featured in this study provides a hugely valuable sense of just how vibrant the form currently is. . . . The book's robust championing of prose poetry in its many manifestations - and the recognition that this is a contemporary literary mode growing in significance - are perspectives to which we ought to attend. ---Simon Collings, Fortnightly Review With this work, Hetherington and Atherton enrich understanding of and debates about the 'new' genre of prose poetry. Their impressive explication of the genre's history from the mid-19th century to the present sets a frame for their equally impressive exploration of many facets of this protean art. * Choice Reviews *
